A Late Day Surge Relieved the Selling Pressure; Stocks End Mixed

Coming off a light holiday session Thursday stocks were hit by sellers early on and often.  ISM non-manufacturing survey showed a better than expected number, but the index showed the service sector shrinking.  Sellers took full advantage and continued to hammer stocks to their lows.  Once again, buyers stepped in and pushed the S&P 500 and Dow higher as the Dow avoided its 6th day of distribution.  Sadly, the NASDAQ was not saved by the late day action as it finished notching its 5th day of

Biz Mister: Francois Vigneault Talks about Zines and Small Publishing

This August 22nd and 23rd marks the ninth anniversary of one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated gatherings of small publishers and authors, the SF Zine Fest .  I particularly like the Zine Fest because it’s more laid-back and intimate than something like Comic-Con or A.P.E. , and it really celebrates the connection between Zines and other crafts.  I wanted to share some info about this event with you, and about the world of small publishing in general, so I went straight to the source and as

Some More Contributions to Innovation Debate

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been surprised at how little real debate there has been about the government’s Smart Economy strategy.   Monday’s Irish Times Innovation supplement had a useful article discussing the economist-free Innovation Task Force that I mentioned last week. As one might expect, the article contains some enthusiastic comments from some members of the Task Force—industrial policy experts will recognise the idea of the strategy succeeding by “picking winners.” In addition, however, the article also quotes some less enthusiastic economists—me and UCC’s Declan Jordan
